In Newfoundland and Labrador the word work can come to mean several different
things. It could mean the work that parents did to provide an income to
the family. It could mean the work that was done to keep the house clean.
It could also mean the chores that children had to do or the work that had
to be done in the kitchen to provide food. So you can see that when it comes
to work there was a variety to do and a lot to be done!
